Hello! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been struggling with back pain, sciatica and osteoarthritis from sports injuries for the past few years which has had a big impact on my workout routine. Being active has always been important for both my physical and mental well-being, and it's also extremely important for good musculoskeletal health. That can be hard to remember when in pain, and I have become less active as a result even though I know that's the wrong approach.

I am keen to build my strength and cardiovascular health, and will be active for a minimum of one hour every day for the month of November. I'm a Trustee for the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance (ARMA) who do excellent work in bringing patient organisations and professional bodies together to support people living with musculoskeletal conditions. Their influence has raised the importance of MSK conditions up the agenda.

Thank you for donating to keep me motivated and to raise money for this great cause!
